“Effective policing depends on public cooperation, mutual trust and strong partnerships between the police and the communities they serve,” he said.
He noted that religious leaders occupied influential position in the society and could contribute meaningfully to peace building, conflict resolution, responsible conduct and the promotion of public safety.
The commissiner said that the command remained open to further constructive engagements with religious organisations and other community-based institutions.
According to him, such partnerships are essential to encouraging credible intelligence sharing, peaceful coexistence and respect for the rule of law.
He assured the clergy that the command would continue to uphold professionalism, accountability and people-oriented policing.
Ama also encouraged members of the public to provide timely and credible information to assist the police in preventing crime, identifying security threats and responding effectively to emerging challenges.
He explained that the command’s approach to security extended beyond law enforcement to include dialogue, stakeholder collaboration and proactive engagement with the public.
According to him, these measures are vital to addressing community concerns, strengthening public confidence and building a sustainable foundation for effective policing.
